Police and fire report: Poorly concealed is still concealed

MOPED WEAPON: A Battle Creek man, 26, was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon after Battle Creek police stopped his moped at 9:04 p.m. Saturday. Officers said they stopped the vehicle after seeing a passenger sitting backwards on the seat. As the officer was talking to both men he noticed the handle of a gun under the T-shirt of the driver. Police said the man was carrying a loaded .380 caliber handgun. The man told officers he did not have a permit to carry the gun concealed but thought it was all right if it was partially exposed. Officers said the gun was covered by the man's shirt.
